I recently got Telocity DSL service and love it -- at least from Windows 98 where I get SDSL speeds approaching 1MB/sec (yes, thats right, synchronous as in upload and download are each 1MB!!!). I am very happy but unfortunately am using Windows 98 as I cannot after 18 hours of trying get SUSE 6.3 to work correctly with my network connection. Please help if you can!!!
Regardless of whether I use the dhclient, or instead dhcpcd, I get the same result -- nothing. When I use dhcpcd, I can actually see the dsl modem's LAN and PC lights light up (which is what happens in Windows when the lease is obtained) but no lease is ever obtained. It just sits there for 60 seconds and then quits with a timeout. -- Big Snip--
TIA
Is this all on the same computer using the same ethernet card or on two different computers or cards? I don't know how your service works, but with mine on BellSouth they identify the machine requesting an address using the hardware "mac" address of the network card. On my service you have to either move the ethernet card with the connection or register the new card before the server will respond and assign an address. Longshot but thought I would check. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
